This #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is a total hoot.He love's to toss out these (so called polls) but already has an agenda to speak of & then slams people with statements like he's on this almighty Soap box.

He too is like surf fishing..........He comes & goes with the tides.
Im looking forward to the out going tide

No, No...you have it wrong, no soap box just a boulder I never slamed anyone in this ridiculas post, it was just in fun.... Hopefuuly you canal guys will have another "Columbus day massacre"

[tattoobob]

I call it tidal fishing like fishing in a river mouth or estuary
So basically it is shore fishing, No mater how it is fished it is
not easy, the only place I sranged my ancle from a hard fall
about 10 feet up, climbing down.

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s just pissed cause he can't fish from his boat in the Canal//

[striprman]

I have yet to see a person riding a surf board through the canal. I do believe I will at some point in time see it (ride the bow wave of a big old barge) or maybe a wind surfer.
I think canal fishing is certainly surf fishing, just don't get the "high surf" like on the beaches.

where's TO?

[Nebe]

if i kiss a #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& on the cheek am i gay? if he likes it is he gay?

in all sseriousness, IMO, surfcasting is casting into the surf with long rods, beefy tackle, etc. the canal is most Def. surfcasting.

[RIJIMMY]

That didnt happen , did it??

The Chanel is different because I fish there alot

[nightprowler]

so close......

[gone fishin]

I never see a breaking tide on Nauset or PI or any beach, be it sandy or with the rocks of Rhody. I would venture a guess that the average surfcaster would be totally confused by the anomalies of the ditch! I have turned plugs that would not even be tossed to the surf gods, but in the canal rips and currents they dance.
I still call it surfcasting though

[Mike P]

I get to put it over the top

[MikeTLive]

lucky 99.

I am headin to the ditch in the morning.
I will let you know if I see anyone Surfing.

be sure to introduce yourself if you see a dude with a short red beard.
(well more like 2month-old shadow )

ya, I wonder why this topic got started
couldn;t have anything to do with you canalman could it?

[eelman]

A mindless post really done from a momentary feeling of boredom and over 100 responces some, quite serious

[Canalman]

And how different is the canal than the channel?

[Skitterpop]

I`m trembling with excitement waiting for #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& to get back from Cutty and read all his fan mail

JR..... rocks and reefs are tougher on the body if you do a lot of moving about or swimming to them and readings ok if you scout at low. Rocks are very dangerous.

The sand requires more research I think due to its everchanging structure and walking in soft sand is a killer with waders and gear.

I`d say both are equally difficult for varying reasons.

[vineyardblues]

In the winter they call it ice fishing

[Karl F]

I got an extra 6 or 7 thousand seals.. think I'll send them to the ditch.
They can take several tons of mung with them too.
Than I can just worry about ever changing structure and miles of beach closures.

Apples and Oranges.. how can ya compare?
And.. Who gives a flyin' farq anyhoo...

[Slipknot]

keep the seals away Karl, we got enough problems with crowds of people

Da Canal

[ProfessorM]

I got to have my head examined for reading all this jiberish.

[Swimmer]

Be standing in the canal waist deep in front of a home where I used to have permission to fish when the a.....e goes by that cant read the english worded signs that say "NO WAKE". But I still agree its not the surf.

Or when a tanker or a deep-running barge goes by pushing tons of water ahead of it, and the suction almost pulls you under

The Canal is the only place where I've lost fish to boats that didn't cross my line. The pull of that suction can tear a hook loose, just like when you try to horse a fish onto the sand against a receeding wave.

[tynan19]

Mike P, I love that sound. Before you can see the barge the water starts dropping around you.

[JohnR]

Flappy - What I'm saying is that there are certain things that make the sand Hard Core and certain things that make the rocks Hard Core and that they compliment each other in the Ethereal of Surfcasting. Both dig into the fabric of the soul. The canal can dig into the very soul of an angler too. So I would not venture to put one above the other...

Yeh - I missed it, but I knew if I went up it would have died that day so you should be thanking me that I did not come up and you had for two, instead of just one
